I wish I had the "real" computer working so I could show you the drawing from the Russian magazine "Oxota"-- by Vadim Gorbatov of course-- which shows Oleg being mauled by a leopard in Turkmenistan. Later, perhaps...
Lashyn is a "Semirichenski" or Seven Rivers tazi and a taller, more rawboned type than the Almaty and Turkmeni strains, as was her grandfather. She was born in Kiev, but all her ancestors were Kazakh.
And Kiran's father has had a great honor-- he was chosen to portray the Kazakh tazi on a first- day cover and stamp.
The boy looks just like his dad.

I think I'll always want to call Kiran "Prince Hamlet." Or possibly "Orlando." He looks like an Orlando. Instead of a spiked anti-wolf color, he needs one of those 16th-century starched ruffs, don't you think? And a black velvet cape.
Works for me! Though "Kiran" or (like the movie) "Kyran"-- "Golden" as in the eagle, ain't bad either...
